The necessity of a critical analysis of psychological dominance in Russian pedagogical science and a serious philosophical understanding of entrenched pedagogical principles is argued. Reliance on the philosophy of E.V. Ilyenkov and G.V. Lobastov acts as a theoretical and methodological basis for the pedagogical conditions for the formation of a free, creative personality.
